This is the first Australian book devoted to the general aspects of agency law in Australia published in recent times. This new work analyses the foundational elements of agency required by both students and professionals. The book explores the basis of agency law and its meaning and significance, and then charts and traces agency law across a formation - performance - termination paradigm. The accent throughout the book is on law in Australia, while acknowledging important influences on the shape and trajectory of Australian agency law that comes from other countries within the western legal tradition. This book addresses, in some detail, the three main aspects of agency law : the principal and agent relationship; the principal and third party relationship; and the agent and third party relationship. - Back cover.
